My fog lamps dont turn on just because i have drl on. The fogs dont turn on unless i press the foglight button. The manual does say that if u turn the fog lights on, then the drl will turn on too. But u can run drl without fogs.

No, the blinker is separate... however the fog light below the blinker comes on with the blinker to act as a cornering light (for better visibility of curbs, etc). Or at least that's the intention, I don't know that it makes much difference. If you turn the wheel without the signal, the fog light in that direction also comes on. Also, both fog lights come on when you're in reverse for the same reason.

I run my DRL all the time and the fogs are off, unless I turn them on.

I only recently realized that the left or right fogs come on individually when you are making a turn or you are signaling to turn. Again, it's only one fog light at a time. Had the car for almost two years before I noticed that.
